Tips:

  • Choose Ripe Tomatoes: Use vine-ripened tomatoes for a sweeter, more flavorful dish.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the bacon, give it enough space in the pan to render properly and crisp up.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the bacon and tomatoes into even pieces.
  • Don't Overcook the Eggs: Keep an eye on the eggs as they cook to prevent them from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the dish throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Serve Immediately: Tomato bacon squares are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
